Varma kalai, the art of vital points, is a Tamil martial arts discipline that draws on Siddha science and medicines. The particularity of the practice involves an in-depth knowledge of the vulnerable parts of the body, from the joints to the vital organs. In the village of Kovalam, emergency doctor Bernard Fontanille meets a master of this unique form of combat.
